The first school in the vicinity of Bagot, in the Rural Municipality of North Norfolk, was Elsmith School No. 648, which opened in 1891 and was known as Bagot School. As the number of children increased, classes were held in in the Sampson home in Bagot, and Bagot School No. 1204 was formally established in September 1902. A new school building was erected in 1906 at a cost of about $1,100. It operated until 1966, at a site west of this cairn. When the school closed in 1966, students were bussed to MacGregor School and the building was sold. The cairn was dedicated at a ceremony on 21 July 2001.
